Background

Su Fei awakened in Qingzhou Prefecture after transmigrating into the body of another eighteen-year-old Su Fei. He retained knowledge from his previous life, inherited a house, and initially possessed only fifth-level Body Tempering cultivation. He soon obtained the God-tier Martial Arts Mission System and the Nine Yang Divine Art. 1 2

Before displaying his cultivation, Su Fei was known locally as a dissolute young master with a reputation for frequenting brothels. His performance during the Imperial Guard entrance examination—particularly lifting a 1,000-jin stone lock—overturned that reputation and established him as an exceptional young martial artist. 4 6

Appearance

Su Fei is consistently described as youthful enough for enemies and bystanders to underestimate him despite his martial prowess. 45 49

• Wore a blue short outfit and coarse clothes while undercover with Wang Meng near Three Saints Temple. 8
• Received the General Banner Officer's embroidered Flying Fish Robe after his promotion. 15
• Used a black mask while infiltrating and eliminating the Chen family. 18 19

Personality

Su Fei is composed under provocation and rarely displays uncertainty in front of opponents. When Chen Hu mocked him during the Imperial Guard assessment, he ignored the insults and continued registering for the examination. 3

He is observant and methodical in investigations, using case patterns and physical clues to identify suspects. His deductions uncovered the role of the shadow-play performer in the missing-child case, connected the arms-smuggling investigation to Zhao Feiying, and identified the Household Registration Office as Plum Blossom's source of victim information. 8 23 34

Although he is humble when praised by superiors and credits the Imperial Guard for group achievements, he is ruthless toward those he considers irredeemable criminals or threats. He crippled Chen Hu during the entrance examination, annihilated the Chen family after their attempted ambush, and showed no leniency toward Plum Blossom or Shadow Kill Tower assassins. 5 17 19 35 50

Su Fei also rewards loyalty. He promoted Wang Meng, shared rewards with his men, gave Wang Meng cultivation elixirs, and hosted feasts for his subordinates. 7 15 32

Notable Quotes

“It’s not that I’m strong, it’s that you’re too weak.” 5
